Notes.

The inaugural day Of the Memphis
jockey clubs autumn race meeting has
dawned. The city welcomes it rs the
promised capstone for all previous efforts.
For two or three days past strangers and
turfmen have been arriving, full OF inter-
est, expectancy and with money 10 back
their iavorites. Since President leveland's
departure nothing in the amusement line
has been talked oiexccpt the fall meeting,
consequently the people are prepared.
Pools and combinations were sold in the
north end OF the Peabody billiard hall last
night, but the bidding was barely up TO
anticipation. Col. Ira Il. Bride intro
duced all the persuasive and bluff language
at his command, and Col. Lou Powers sat
before his table in melancholy, that sail
right-we'n -meet-again sort Of way. The
weather outside was unpropitious, how
ever, the audience were at their respective
homes, and at 8 o'clock an adjournment
was taken until 10 O'Clock this morning,
same place.
The horses heretofore announced us com
ing from Cincinnati IN a special train ar
rived yesterday morning safe, sound and
apparently little faded by the continuous
ride. They were stabbed in nice order, the
usual attention paid, and later were eXer-
ciscd on the track. All showed up in fine
form, their renewed freedom causing II
. sprightlincss gratifying TO the owners, pro
f~cssional spectators and Others accounted
good judges OF horsctlesh.
